~The Dragon Flies' Lair~ VIII
January 29, 2004 | bentfeather, Poets of The Dragon Flies' Lair

Posted on 01/28/2004 9:53:03 PM PST by Soaring Feather

My Dragon Fly and Me

If I could be a Dragon Fly
and wing my way through the sky
I would never be shy
just me and my Dragon Fly!

By moonlight we ride the wind
chase the comets tail for fun
by day we would hide from the sun
our fragile wings would come undone

On darkest nights we would use
fireflies as our guide
we would dip and we would glide
through the heavens open wide
and scatter diamonds in the night sky
my Dragon Fly and I...

And we would wing past our lovers
silent in the night...
to kiss their face in our flight
much to their surprise and delight
my Dragon Fly and me in sight...

Such a view do we share
away up here in the air
of breezes soft through our hair
my Dragon Fly and me a pair...

We could lie together in that tower,
o'er mist-enshrouded bower,
drinking in the scented flower,
holding, loving through the hour

Taking ease and each other,
'round the grounds, and then another
pass by scented dale to hover
over heart and hearth, like lovers.

Later in the morning,
as the new day
rose a-borning,
we walked the beach together,
My Love and I.

Booming surf matched
my beating heart that morning,
as next to me, fingers intertwined with mine,
this wondrous woman walked.

Gazing out to sea,
then shyly looking at the sand and surf,
then looking up at me,
My Love's soft eyes on me.

Bare feet and limbs
strolled along at my side,
sunlight from the dawn-clouds
broke on platinum hair.

I watched Her sidelong,
then stopped our stroll.
My arms reached for Her,
while the tide would roll.

Holding hands in the surf,
my neck bent low,
She kissed me again, that adoring kiss
that only certain poets know.

In the heather
on the hill
running like children
free at will
wild and care free
just we two
butterflies are free
like dew
on gossamer wings
we set flight

Can you come fly with me
it's all I know
can you see
I take to flight because I can
and ride the wind with my man
no more terrors
of the night
in his arms I am alright

Just the next place over
from our lavender bower
sits a house in the woods,
heather turves all about.

Another place to spend
time while hearts are on the mend
quiet days with sunny nooks
just the place for writing books

poets dance, and lovers press
into each others' arms
like flowers in a book
keepsake of the day.

You know something?

I never can tell, if the picture inspires the lines, or I have the lines already, and I just find the pic to go with them?

Maybe it's both...

I know what you mean. Although, I write the words first then look for a graphic.

We walked on, kicking at the surf
and I stopped to watch a boat
motor out beyond the beacons
and out to sea.
I felt My Love at my side,
watching, too.

My Love? I asked.
"Yes", She said.
I believe you, who you are,
and what you've done for me.
I don't feel alone anymore,
and that was the first time
my tears ran free.

"Not the first time",
My Love said, "just in
memory. You still have so much
to do, so much to heal."

Then, you're staying
with me? For now?

"My Darling, I will be here
always", She replied, "inside
your heart is where I abide."

"But, for now, I'll stay with you,
just as you see me. Because..."

Why? I said into Her pause.
Were you planning on leaving?
After all that's happened to me? To us?

"It's not meant for
those of my kind
to be with you long.
But, I choose to stay,"

"It's important that I do.
You have to learn to let go,
and love yourself,
and to do that... I love you."

You love me?
Can you do that,
be in love with yourself,
a part of you?

"Of course you can!"
My Love said, smiling. "It's the
first part of the healing -
to love and be loved by you.
Then you can love others."

My Love, you've given me
so much, so far.
But it's so hard to tust, to let
yourself be open and -

"But, that's exactly what you must do,
my love", She said.
"There's no safer love for you,
than the love of yourself -
the love I have for you."

My Love drew closer,
gentle hands on my chest,
"Now that the tears are gone,
there's room in your heart for me again.
Love me, and I
shall be in love with you."

After the last Ice Age, the Beasts gathered in council to determine who would rule this beautiful new world that the ice had left for them.

This sounds interesting! My attention is certainly gotten! :-)

Think about it…if there was no music.

PERISH THE THOUGHT!!!!!
For years I've told people that music is my "drug" of choice ..... there's music to relax one, to energize one, to lift one's spirits, the list goes on and on. A pill is only good for one dose; a song can be played over and over again.

Saves a lot of money and keeps me away from the pharmacy counters. :-)
